NAGR’s 2012 Executive Summary: New Threats

Hillary Clinton and the United Nations are putting the finishing touches on their “Small Arms Treaty” this summer, and President Obama is ready to push a new “Assault Weapons Ban,” a Magazine Ban and Bloomberg’s “Catch All Gun Control Scheme” in order to win left-wing support.

*** Dozens of CRUCIAL U.S. House and Senate races, with our gun rights hanging in the balance:

Holding the politicians accountable has NEVER been more important. Not only must we defend true gun rights heroes like Congressman Paul Broun through our Political Action Committee, we also have the opportunity to hold accountable long-standing anti-gun Republicans like Senators Dick Lugar and Orrin Hatch.

*** Leading the fight for REAL Right-to-Carry in states all across the nation:

After passing Constitutional Carry in Wyoming in 2011, NAGR has a tremendous opportunity to move forward with this vital legislation in up to a dozen more states. If we are successful in raising the resources, this could result in a rout of the gun-grabbers unlike anything seen in decades.

These threats and opportunities are why I’m hoping you will stand strong with your support for the National Association for Gun Rights and our battles ahead.

These threats and opportunities are why I’m hoping you will stand strong with your support for the National Association for Gun Rights and our battles ahead.

Your generous support will help pay for direct mail and online alerts to help turn up the heat on politicians.

And you’ll be paying for our hard-hitting radio, newspaper, internet and TV ad campaigns it will take to make each one of these efforts a resounding success, as well.

Not only that, but with a whopping eight U.S. Senators already announcing their retirements, you and I start off with our backs against the wall.

After all, retiring Senators have no fear of blowback at the polls for GUTTING our gun rights.

And don’t think for a second President Obama and his anti-gun pals will sit around and wait for you and me to mobilize after the U.N.’s “Small Arms Treaty” is finalized this summer.

Just like so many other assaults on our liberties that we’ve seen in recent years, the “Small Arms Treaty” will be fast-tracked and sold as a vital “anti-terrorism measure” that Senators can read only AFTER ratification.

I don’t know about you, but that sends shivers down my spine.

But the truth is, the United Nation’s “Small Arms Treaty” could be just the tip of the iceberg

You and I must also be on guard for other anti-gun assaults like:

*** A new so-called “Assaults Weapon Ban.”

Unlike the old ban, this would target ALL semi-automatic rifles and shotguns and NEVER expire;

*** A New “Magazine Ban.”

The anti-gun crowd and the biased, left-leaning media are clamoring for a ban on standard capacity magazines. They openly suggest that shooting little girls is the only thing gun owners like you and I would ever do with a 10-round magazine;

*** Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s “Catch-All Gun Control Scheme.”

Another ostensibly “anti-terrorism” scheme, Bloomberg’s legislation would create a national “cannot buy registry,” allowing citizens to be stripped of their Second Amendment rights on the whim of Justice Department bureaucrats. It would effectively ban all private gun sales.
That’s why I’m counting on you to sign the Executive Reply Form I’ve created for you IMMEDIATELY.

You see, these federal legislative fights are far from all we have to be concerned about. 2012 is a critical election year after all.

I know the race for President — and the likely ability to shape our Supreme Court for decades to come — speaks for itself.

But you and I both know key races for the U.S. House and Senate can be every bit as important.

And in the Senate, we have REAL opportunities to take on some of those anti-gun old-guard establishment GOP types.

For example, in Indiana, incumbent Senator Dick Lugar is facing a stiff Tea Party primary challenge from Richard Mourdock.

In Maine, Olympia Snowe is facing a tough primary fight as well.

And, of course, both of these incumbent Republicans have LONG anti-gun records.

You may even remember last year Dick Lugar joining the media’s anti-gun hysteria after the Arizona tragedy by calling for a new so-called “Assault Weapons Ban”!

Add to that several critical open seat fights, and vulnerable Democrat incumbents facing reelection like Ben Nelson (NE), Bill Nelson (FL), Jon Tester (MT), and Sherrod Brown (OH) facing reelection, and 2012 could be an historic year if we can raise the resources.

But even besides all that, please realize the National Association for Gun Rights effectiveness comes not because I cozy up to anti-gun politicians and cut deals so they’ll like us.

It’s because they HATE us.

It’s because politicians know that if they vote to whittle away at our gun rights, there WILL be a price to pay.

You and I make sure of it.

That’s why we cannot afford to just sit 2012 out.

Should we make that mistake, can you imagine the fallout?

When 2013 rolls around, we’d likely be facing a whole new crop of emboldened anti-gun politicians, and a new congress, who believe there’s nothing to fear in launching new anti-gun assaults.

So we must have the resources to hold politicians accountable in 2012 and fund our critical federal legislative efforts.

And on top of all that, just consider what’s going on at the state level!

Last year, thanks to the efforts of the National Association for Gun Rights, Constitutional Carry laws passed in Wyoming.

Under Constitutional Carry, law-abiding citizens no longer have to deal with all the outrageous fees and bureaucratic rigmarole just to carry a gun to protect themselves and their families.

If you’re legal to own a firearm, you’re legal to carry it. PERIOD.

As groundbreaking as 2011 was for passing new Constitutional Carry laws, I believe we could hand the gun-grabbers a rout in 2012.

In fact, I expect efforts to pass Constitutional Carry to gain a full head of steam in states like Iowa, Georgia, Montana, New Hampshire, Virginia and Wisconsin.

At least a half-a-dozen other states could consider Constitutional Carry, as well.

But WINNING these fights could all depend on whether you and I have the resources to get involved.

So please recognize how serious this is.

Without your generous support, I simply won’t have the funds to do everything that must be done.

So I’m counting on you to make the most generous contribution you can afford.

Your generous support will help pay for direct mail and online alerts to help turn up the heat on politicians.

And you’ll be paying for our hard-hitting radio, newspaper, internet and TV ad campaigns it will take to make each one of these efforts a resounding success, as well.

As I’ve told you, 2012 will be an absolutely critical year for our gun rights.

On one hand, with the gun-grabbers so determined to finally succeed in a full-frontal assault on your Second Amendment rights, we could be staring disaster in the face.

On the other, we could strike an incredible blow against anti-gun activists and take a giant step forward to FULLY restoring all of our lost Second Amendment freedoms.

And in many ways, the decision you make right now will determine everything.

So please click here to contribute IMMEDIATELY.

With Congress already back in session, and the fights already begun, I need to hear from you immediately.

If you believe, like I do, we must stand toe-to-toe against the gun-grabbers and defend our Second Amendment at all costs, I hope you’ll agree to a generous contribution of $75.

If that’s simply too much, won’t you agree to a generous contribution of $50 or at least $25?

Believe me — I know times are tough out there for many good folks.

The National Association for Gun Rights depends on the generosity of folks like you for the funds it needs to fight the gun-grabbers.

When you’re facing tough times, we face tough times too.

But the truth is, I can’t stomach the thought of giving up the fight.

If you agree, please fill out and return your reply form along with your most generous contribution of $75, $50 or $25 TODAY!

For Freedom,
